If you can provide an answer that will be great. I'm still in TSQL not ADO so haven't tried it that way yet.

ALTER PROCEDURE sp_HTMLReport(
@sReturnOut VARCHAR(8000) = '' OUTPUT
) as
set @sReturnOut = 'Stupid text data type'

GO
Declare @sGeorge VARCHAR(8000)
Declare @sTest int

exec sp_HTMLReport @sReturnOut = @sGeorge OUTPUT

select ReturnValue = @sGeorge
GO"
